Cue up Megalovania, you're gonna have a bad time. All 3 "look" okay on paper, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that things have likely been cobbled, hacked up and butchered on all of them. A few things are similar between a North American FD and an early Japanese one (pre 1996), but the differences will make you cry. Especially the ones between October 1991, July 1993 and July 1994 where part names change for no reason...

That is, unless every single person whom handled these cars can read Japanese fluently. I've seen firsthand what happens when such "shops" can't read Japanese and just throw anything and everything at a car "to make it work". Don't be that guy, and don't be suckered by that guy.

I admire the ambition, but this sounds like a recipe for frustration at best. If you are serious about a RHD FD, you'll be thanking yourself to wait until I've finished translating the Wiring Diagrams. Currently about 1/3 done with it and the ETA is at the end of June. Details are in a Sticky Thread in the 3rd Gen Section.
